Aymara's Cria and a Visit from Scarlett

After several false starts last week, Aymara came up with the goods yesterday.  A fantastic little female cria, Dad is Carter who was killed by his paddock pal, Totem, last month.   Carter and Totem had been together for 4 years without an incident, so we were all pretty shocked by the first major argument resulting in a fatality.  It is lovely to have something to remember Carter by, and she looks very like him.

Later in the afternoon Scarlett came to visit, she and the newly named Bumble Bee seemed to hit it off immediately :)

The day did not end well, very unexpectedly we lost Sevanna's cria.  Not sure what went wrong there, only 2 days old, very distressing, especially for Sevanna :(

A Short Visit with Scarlett and an Even Shorter One with Moche

A lot of driving on Sunday - but all good in my new big red car!!  Got to share a short visit with Scarlett, who was all smiles as usual - before 'clean up'

And after....

Then a flying visit for Moche, hand out a few llama lollies and hand over his jabs, a few happy snaps and we're off again!!  He is growing really well and looking as fit as a fiddle.

Sunday with Scarlett

Some cute pics from my visit with Scarlett on Sunday.  She was not well but still had her best smile on :)  Squeaky clean after a bath but before her hair was brushed!!

Royalla Country Fair

Yesterday Freya, Scarlett and I went to the Royalla Country Fair, mostly to see and help out a bit on the llama stand, but the best bit for Scarlett was a big ice-cream with sprinkles!!

Yoyo and Coco

The puppies get really excited when I start the prep for their meal, hard to get them to sit before its delivered, but no sit, no dinner!!

Baby Season in Full Swing

On Sunday I arrived home to a new dark brown female suri cria from Guinevere, we have been waiting forever for this baby!!  Very pleased with the outcome :)  Welcome Gardenia, only one pic because Guinevere is a very protective mother and this one pic cost me a big pasting of ikky green stuff!!  Dad is Panash.

Melody is a calmer, more trusting mother, her male cria was born this morning, pretty sure he's rose grey, but will wait a few weeks before registering him, his name is Iguana, but will be called Iggy at home :)   Dad is Kurralea Tutankahmen who is medium grey.

New Cria Today

Another new cria today, yipee its a girl.  A light fawn female for Maisy by Falstaff, a happy addition for our agistees, Zara Dain Alpacas :)  Farm volunteers Leona, Chrissy and Parker chose Minnie for her name and we're very happy Rob has decided to go with it!!  Little Minnie is a Maisy mini me!!
